Why the new website?

When I decided to launch InfluenceRevenue.com I was working from the entrepreneurial mindset. After a few months, I have realized that I need to work from a broader perspective to reach my goals. Since I am both an entrepreneur and I work as a sales professional I came to the conclusion that I needed to have a less business and more personal website that reflected all the work I am doing and passions that I have.

Basically, I made a mistake and although it pains me to admit it that is the truth.

After researching my options and reading books about personal branding I decided that moving to www.jamieirvine.ca was my best option. Now that my new site is live I have transferred all of the original content from InfluenceRevenue.com.
